Flowers in the wind

Outside of the MOSI, which my post called MOSI actually talks about, there were these beautiful flowers that I had to snap. The only issue with taking these was the wind! It was quite windy when taking with them, and so using manual focus made it extra tricky to get them in focus! Eventually I caught them well enough to be satisfied, even though at one point Hana had to hold the stem of one of them to help out as I was getting so frustrated! Oh well, I got them in the end!

MOSI

Whilst visiting Hana in Manchester, we went to the Museum of Science and Industry, otherwise known as MOSI. It's a free museum in the centre of Manchester, and with nothing else to do and wanting to go take some photos, we set off to go and try capture something interesting. It's actually a pretty big place, with loads of interactive things to do, so it'd be really great to take kids to. They have 5 different sections all looking at different things and with different experiments to do! even at 21 and 22 we still found them entertaining, and I am proud to say that I took the top spot on an interactive game, with my name there for all to see! yay! The only issue with it was that it was all pretty dark and not the best for photography, especially as I hate using flash! So a lot of my photos came out a tiny bit blurred as I had to turn the shutter speed down to get it a little brighter. Either way, it was still a challenge and that's always fun!

So here are the photos from MOSI:

1. Loom parts

2. A typewriter

3. A globe filled with an orange gel that you make patterns in

4. A HUGE mural on hte side of a factory wall

5. An engine fan

6. The front of a red arrow

Tatton Park

Tatton Park is a little place just outside of Manchester which has a deer park, a large mansion house and some lovely gardens. One day Hana and I decided we would make the trip over there whilst we still had the car, as we were getting rid of it at the end of January. Booo!

Anyway, we drove on over, and after discovering that the house was closed were a little disappointed but went for a wander anyway. The gardens themselves are really well kept and there is a little Japanese section to it which was really well done. Here are some of the photos taken from the day, with close up shots coming in my next post, so keep an eye out for them!

1. Deer in the distance

2. Trellis

3. The gardens

4. Garden wall

5. A tree

6. A pond

7. The Japanese hut
